Seminole County Animal Services is waiving the adoption fees for all “senior” dogs and cats (ages 6 and older) now through Nov. 15. A perk of adopting a senior is that what you see is what you get: You know how big they are, most have wonderful house manners and their temperament is set. Seminole County residents will need to buy a $6 county license for their new pet. Seminole County Animal Services is open 10-4 Monday through Saturday for adoptions at 232 Bush Blvd., Sanford.
